Anyway they can get it off the hard drive still or is it that bad?

I'm paranoid about this happening so I have multiple copies, backed up pretty much everytime I modify something. I've lost stuff before, not nice.
Good luck!

BTW, have you thought about investing in a USB h/d to store this stuff? They're cheap and quick and highly portable.
On another note, the monitor on my desktop computer appears to have died last night. I rebooted coz of another issue and now it won't turn on - the switch glows for a second, I see a flash of purple from the opening screen, but then it goes back to black and off...*sigh*...

Stupid monitor!

Replaced the monitor with a secondhand one from the hockshop where my daughter works and got a tidy little 10% discount on it (and what's the point of having a daughter who works in a place like that if you can't take advantage of it ;)).

Harddrive crashes? Install a new one, restore from back-up and hey presto instant clone machine, no messy moving back in or lengthy reinstalling of software needed. At most I'll only loose a week. I've not had to do it (touch wood) but my brother has many times when moving into new laptops and swears by it. My schedule is set weekly to run at some ungodly hour that I'm normaly not using the computer so it is completely painless.
Just a thought.
